Recession Alert - James Franco

The actor and writer James Franco has a new movie coming out - 127 Hours, about the heroic survival story of hiker Aron Ralston. But another project Franco has in the works is temporal recession - the 32-year old's hair line is showing signs of recession in recent photos like the one above.

Hair loss is not uncommon for men in their early 30s. It's estimated men have roughly a 30- to 35-percent chance of hair loss during this period. See this photo from my website.

Although the recession isn't too bad yet, Franco should consider using an FDA-approved medication like Propecia or Rogaine to prevent further recession. Otherwise, he could wind up looking like Jude Law in a few more years.
